Security Officers Standup for Good Jobs at Tech Giants like Apple and Google

Apple, Google and other tech giants in the Silicon Valley are booming. But their security officers are missing out, struggling to support their families in the shadow of the industry’s lopsided success.

Apple and Google use an irresponsible contractor, Security Industry Specialists (SIS) – a company with policies that cheat working families out of a better way of life.

Security officer Walter Redding, who up until recently protected people and property at Google’s YouTube facility, believes he was mistreated by SIS. “I feel I was unfairly fired during one of the most critical moments of my life – just as my girlfriend and I were expecting our second child,” said Walter.

All workers who contribute to growing and profitable tech companies should benefit from the industry’s success. That’s why Silicon Valley security officers like Walter are joining together regain real prosperity and secure good jobs that can support working families.
